Octomom releases statement from rehab

Through all the highs and lows of her bizzare life, Nadya "Octomom" Suleman has never been afraid to speak out.

No surprise then that the mother of 14 has released a statement from rehab, which she entered last week for an addiction to Xanax.

Suleman tells E! that despite rumors, Michael Lohan (yes, Lindsay's dad) did not urge her to seek rehab and that she made the decision on her own with the help of her manager.

The statement in full:

"I chose to seek treatment after consulting with my manager regarding my recent use of Xanax, which was prescribed by my physician for panic attacks. There were no other people involved with me entering treatment other than my manager and myself. There was no intervention that took place. I am working in therapy every day with my doctors and therapists regarding the origin of these attacks so as not to have to rely on medications to handle it. I am paying for my own treatment; I am finding my voice here."
